Within the framework of cooperation between ASAN AI Hub of the Innovations Center operating under the State Agency for Citizen Services and Social Innovations under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the INNOLAND Incubation and Acceleration Center, Azerbaijani startups have been accepted into the international “Central Eurasia Market Entry” (CEME) acceleration program aimed at entering the Kazakhstan market.
The physical phase of the “CEME” program, implemented by Astana Hub with the support of the Almaty Akimat, has already begun. As part of the 12-week program, participating startups will learn about the specifics of the Kazakhstan market, establish connections with potential customers and partners, adapt their products to local requirements, and explore opportunities for launching pilot projects.
The Azerbaijani startups participating in the program, “Park Hub Baku” and “Floume AI,” will work on expanding their technological solutions in international markets and establishing new business connections.
“Park Hub Baku” is a technology platform that brings together various parking facilities under a single mobile application and subscription model. Through a single subscription, users can access partner parking facilities, choose a plan that suits their needs, and find available parking spaces through the application. The platform aims to reduce drivers’ time and costs associated with parking, while also enabling parking operators to use available spaces more efficiently. Within the framework of the “CEME” program, “Park Hub Baku” will have the opportunity to expand its experience into the Kazakhstan market and explore the needs related to Almaty’s urban infrastructure.
“Floume AI” is an AI-powered online marketplace that brings together a wide range of gift options on a single platform. By entering their budget and preferences, users can use artificial intelligence to find a suitable bouquet of flowers or gift, compare products and prices from different stores, place orders, and track deliveries. Currently working with more than 50 partner stores, the platform has facilitated the delivery of more than 10,000 gifts. Participation in the “CEME” program represents an important milestone for “Floume AI” in establishing connections with new customers and partners in the Kazakhstan market, as well as exploring opportunities for further development of the platform.
